* The task-* packages should be reconsidered. At first hand I'm
thinking of all the non-latin task-* packages which recommend a

currently recommends fonts-lohit-deva. I think it would be
consistent to change that to:
Recommends: fonts-noto-core | fonts-lohit-deva
fonts-noto-core covers "all" scripts, so with that package
installed there shouldn't be a need to install fonts-lohit-deva.
(And for many non-latin scripts Noto offers better quality than the
other non-latin font packages in the archive.)
For Malayalam, we prefer traditional script font by default. Noto
Malayalam coverage is not in traditional script.
